Blue Sky Limousine

Remember back in the 90’s when internet stocks were way up, much higher than they should have been? There was a Dot Com Bubble. Remember in 2000 when it burst? Well, that got me thinking…

Right now, we’re in the midst of an Energy Consumption Bubble. We’re using a lot more energy than we need. I’ll bet 10 years from now technology will have reached a point where we can be far more productive using far less energy. But first comes the correction.

When the Dot Com Bubble burst, things looked bleak. For many, things were bad. If something like that were to happen with energy — a sharp decline in the amount of available power — things again would look bad, seem bleak. But then after a while we’d have adjusted and prepared ourselves to soar to newer and greater heights, on energy-efficient wings. That will be fantastic.

But for us here in the present, the days of energy restructuring are still looming. When will the Bubble burst?
